What are the Fees for Services?
One of our primary goals is to provide affordable mental health services to the community.
There is an initial fee of $25 for all new applicants for consultation, psychotherapy, or counseling services.
This fee may be reduced in the instance of financial need).

After the initial consultation, fees for services will be determined based on a sliding scale, taking into account personal and/or family income.
QCPC does not accept third party insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. QCPC does not accept credit card payment.

What is the General Procedure to Obtain Services?
After a brief phone screening, if it seems that the clinic can provide the services that the client is requesting, they will be scheduled to come to the clinic to
participate in an initial screening interview. One or more sessions will be scheduled to complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation.
Based on this assessment, recommendations and treatment options will be discussed with the client.

What Services do You not Offer?
QCPC is a training facility providing psychosocial services and cannot admit a client who requires services outside our scope of practice,
or a higher level of care than the clinic can offer. In such a case every effort will be made to help identify appropriate alternatives and community resources.

While we offer a wide range of psychosocial services, we do not offer walk-in or emergency care, substance abuse treatment,
forensic evaluations (e.g. child custody), day treatment, inpatient care, medical services or prescriptions.

Who will be my Therapist?
Services are provided by doctoral candidates in our PhD Program in Clinical Psychology with emphasis in Neuropsychology who are closely supervised by experienced and licensed faculty.
